Since the BTN moved to channel 610 on DirecTV I wonder where they will fit the other games on Saturday ? The channels around 610 are occupied. :(

The primary overflow channels are 609 and 612; 608, 611, 615, 617 and 623 if needed. On Directv all overflow channels will be in HD, if the game is broadcast in HD.

The channels are being changed, here is an overview of the many changes(you might want to print screen it)

I sent a nasty email to Time Warner last night, so I'm taking partial credit for this. :biggrin:

I also mentioned NFL Network and Versus. Hopefully we see some progress there too.

You don't get Vs. on your Time Warner service?

It is about fucking time.

Now I don't have to read page after page about people bitching about not having BTN.

:tibor:

Just for that, I'm going to continue the bitching. :biggrin:

It's unfair! I don't have cable and I don't get the BTN! This is bullshit! Unless BTN starts providing nationwide over-the-air service, I'm never going to believe they are doing this for any reason other than money. Unbelievable! Screw the BTN and screw over-the-air television! :pissed:

I have word from a Time Warner Cable represenative this morning that they are going to offer the Big Ten Network to all customers of Time Warner. Did not recieve any details as to when or how they channel is going to be packaged. My source is a current rep at Time Warners new location near Nationwide Area and south of Buckeye Cafe. Hopefully more news will follow.

Dispatch
Time Warner Cable, Big Ten Network reach deal

The Columbus Dispatch
Chalk up a victory for Buckeye fans in a struggle between two national powers. Late last night, Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network reached a deal allowing the country's second-largest cable company to carry the year-old network's programming.
That means Ohio State football fans who subscribe to Time Warner will be able to watch the team's season opener Saturday against Youngstown State -- and subsequent games carried by the network -- from the comfort of home.
The agreement ends a yearlong stalemate between the dominant cable company in central Ohio and BTN, which is to broadcast three of the first five OSU games this season, including the Sept. 27 Big Ten opener against Minnesota.
Terms of the agreement were not immediately available, but Time Warner and network officials issued the following joint statement last night:

Does TW have the overflow channels? And in HD? I know other cable networks have not necessarily had that.

TW is behind DTV in a lot of areas, and NFL network is a pretty big loss on their stubborn part.

I'm still glad I switched from TW, fuck those guys and their shitty customer service.

I scheduled a disconnect date over a week ago and had someone call me yesterday asking if I wanted to transfer my service, I told them I already scheduled to cancel my service, which apparently wasn't in the system, I just hope the fucks stop charging me when they are supposed to because it seems like they are highly likely to mess that up.
